Operational records → Events holds flaring, venting, blowdown and well events. Times are in UTC; an event that spans two months is split between them pro rata. Filter the list by Asset, Event type, Classification and month.
Record an event
- Click New event.
- Choose the asset and the Source, the Event type (Flaring, Venting, Blowdown or Well event) and the Classification (Routine, Non-routine, Safety, Purge & pilot).
- Enter Start (UTC) and End (UTC) and the quantity: Volume (Sm³) for flaring and venting; for a blowdown, Isolated volume (m³), Start pressure (kPa a), End pressure (kPa a), Temperature (°C) and the Z-factors. A blank Z-factor is taken as 1.0 with warning W034.
- Enter the Cause. Causes feed the Top causes table of the Flaring & venting dashboard.
- Optionally choose a Composition label; by default the source’s composition is used.
- Click Save. “Saved. A recalculation was queued for the affected months” confirms it.
Use Evidence on the row to attach a file. See Evidence files.
Checks
- E030: missing or inconsistent event data, for example an end before the start.
- E032: the event type is not allowed for the selected source (for example venting on a flare source).
- E041: unknown composition label for this asset.
- Events in a locked month are refused. Request a restatement first.
Events can also be imported with the Events sheet of the Excel template.
